First check if any of those strings are set by the theme’s WPML XML config file on WPML > Translation Management > Multilingual Content Setup screen under section ‘Admin Strings to Translate’.

Multilingual Content Setup

If the whole section is missing or strings you’re looking for are not there – no worries!

Find and translate theme options

Using WPML String Translation, you can translate any option used on your site. Just mark them as translatable on WPML > String Translation > Translate texts in admin screens.

You’ll have to find the right option. Usually theme options are listed somewhere below ‘theme_mods_{themename}’. We looked for WP Real Estate Pro theme options and found them named ‘WP Pro Real Estate 6_options’.

Under that tree we can find the sliders stored under name ‘ct_flex_slider’. We marked each existing slide title as translatable.

We hope it was not too complicated. You can use this approach to translate any other theme option if necessary. For example, custom Widgets can be usually found under options named like ‘widget_{widget_name}’.

https://wpml.org/2015/07/woocommerce-multilingual-and-woocommerce-bookings/#commentsThu, 23 Jul 2015 10:40:27 +0000https://wpml.org/?p=603719WooCommerce Bookings is an extension that allows you to sell time- or date-based bookings. Bookings are organized as a new WooCommerce product type called ‘bookable products’.

Translating bookable products

If you run a multilingual e-commerce site, you may need to translate the bookable products into other languages. WooCommerce Multilingual helps you do just that, when your site also runs WPML and the required addons.

Using WooCommerce Multilingual products translation

We recommend translating bookable products with the products-translation screen in the WooCommerce Multilingual plugin.

Translating bookable products using the products translation screen

On this screen, you can translate the product attributes in the same way you translate all the other product types.

Translating WooCommerce Booking Resources

Sometimes bookings require additional items. For example, if you book a tennis court, you may need to borrow rackets. These rackets will be ‘resources’.

When customers book, they can select to include ‘resources’. Customers can select resources when they add products to the cart. The store can charge additional money when including resources with products.

When resources are being used, they can be translated from the products-translation interface, on the same screen as other product types and for all languages in one place.

Translating WooCommerce Booking resources

Translating WooCommerce Booking Persons

In some cases, bookings are made for a specific number of persons. The cost depends on the number and type of persons. For instance, when you purchase a ticket for a show, you need to enter the number of persons and whether they are an adult or a child, etc.

In a situation like this, you can translate the labels and the descriptions for the person types using the same products-translation screen.

Translating persons labels and descriptions

Using WooCommerce native products editor

Another way in which you can translate bookable products is using the standard WooCommerce products editor. You need to enable this mode explicitly from the WooCommerce Multilingual general settings page.

This will allow you to translate the product elements, but less flexibly than using the WooCommerce Multilingual products-translation screen, since you have to edit one product translation at a time.

Using multiple currencies for bookable products

Using WooCommerce Multilingual you can also sell your bookable products in different currencies. First, you need to enable the multi-currency mode from the general settings and then you can add custom currencies. More about this is covered on the Multi-currency support for WooCommerce documentation page.

Fixed exchange rate

There are two ways in which you can determine the prices for custom currencies. By default, the prices are calculated based on the exchange rate that you enter when adding a new currency, but they are also affected by the other configuration settings: number of decimals, rounding, etc. When you update the exchange rate for a currency, all prices update accordingly.

On the front end, the clients will be able to switch to the prices in other currencies by using the currency selector, as in the image below.

A currency switcher on a product page

More advanced options are also available. For example, you can enable a different currency for each language, set it as the default currency that the users would see when switching to that language, but also exclude other currencies so there’s only one currency for each language.

Custom prices in different currencies

The other way to set the prices in the secondary currencies is by enabling the ‘manual’ pricing mode. You can do this for each individual bookable product under the ‘Costs’ tab. When this option is enabled, a series of fields for entering the prices in the secondary currencies is displayed.

Adding custom prices in the secondary currencies

So, in this case, the prices in the secondary currencies are being set explicitly and not determined automatically based on the exchange rate. Changing the exchange rate for a currency will not affect these prices.

Similar fields for custom prices show up on the Persons tab, if enabled, and on the Resources tab.

Download and setup

WooCommerce Bookings is a commercial extension available on the WooThemes extensions catalog. It requires WooCommerce, which is a free plugin available in the WordPress plugins directory.

WooCommerce Multilingual is also a WooCommerce extension. It’s a glue plugin for WooCommerce and WPML and is also available for download on the WordPress plugins directory.

After installing WooCommerce Multilingual on an existing WooCommerce site with bookable products, further steps are needed in order to have a fully set-up multilingual shop. They are described on the WooCommerce Multilingual main documentation page.

Your feedback

WooCommerce Multilingual includes compatibility with a wide range of WooCommerce extensions. We’re actively working on covering as many of these extensions as possible, while also including other functionalities, like multi-currency mode.

WooCommerce Bookings is the most recent extension we have covered and added complete support for in WooCommerce Multilingual 3.6.5. We’d love to hear your feedback on your experience with WooCommerce Bookings and WooCommerce Multilingual.

https://wpml.org/2015/07/language-packs-are-coming-to-wordpress-org-and-to-wpml/#commentsTue, 14 Jul 2015 20:45:15 +0000https://wpml.org/?p=659253The WordPress meta team announced that they will be adding themes and plugins translations to translate.wordpress.org. This is great news for anyone running Non-English WordPress sites and multilingual WordPress sites. WPML will follow this development closely and add the corresponding support in WPML.

This change will make running multilingual sites a lot easier. Many times today, it’s been hard to find good translations for your theme and all the plugins that you’re using. When WordPress will allow translators to work on theme and plugin translations in one centralized location, we should see a lot more (and better) translations for everything.

Besides the technical advantages to authors, end users should expect more translations, to more languages with higher quality and more complete.

We’ll work to make WPML play with this new mechanism. WPML will automatically download translations for all the site’s languages from the central repository. These translations can arrive as .mo files or into the String Translation, allowing local edits.

This is exciting news for multilingual WordPress. We’ll follow the development closely and update you when there’s something ready for testing.

We hope that the WordPress themes team will open this translation system to all themes, not only those coming from WordPress.org. This will help all of us. To make your voice, consider visiting the announcement blog post (requires registration) or the unofficial announcement on wptavern (no registration needed) and leaving your comment. Explain why it’s important to you, as a WordPress developer and user, to see translations for all themes on translate.wordpress.org.

Download and Update

This is still a beta version, so it’s not intended for everyone. If your site is impacted by a bug that’s fixed in this release, you can use this version to fix.

Before installing beta versions on your site, please make complete backup. This should include the files and database.

As a beta version, this update is only available by manual download and installation. To download, go to your WPML account and click on Downloads.

If you have a Multilingual CMS account, you will see a CMS Beta Package download. Download it and unzip. The download includes ZIP files of all of WPML’s components. You need to update all WPML components that you are using (it’s not possible to run a site with a mixture of old and new versions).

If you have a Multilingual Blog account, you will see a WPML Blog Beta download. You need to extract and upload this to your site to the plugins folder.

Schedule for the production version

WPML 3.2.3 is going into QA next week. This version received testing for all fixes, but not comprehensive testing “from scratch”. QA takes about 2 weeks to complete. Then, we will release the final WPML 3.2.3.
